monte verde RAIN forest

We are currently in Monte Verde rain forest area. Yesterday went to the reserve itself and saw capuchin monkeys, Bestema and Kathy saw a two-toed sloth, and we had great hikes. The stopped off at a co-op that I went to last time with Ron and Jorge for some coffee, and the womens´ cooperative nearby.

Today we did the touristy zip-lines, canopy walks, etc., and had a blast. Miriam especially loved the zip-lines, and we also did insect museum and butterfly exhibit. Not able to get pictures up at the moment, but will try to in the next couple of days. It has been pouring rain now and again, and the lightening makes things iffy for working on electronics. At the end of the tour today we got so wet that I had water running into my shoes and could not have been more wet if I had been thrown in the pool.
